Hi Pierre,
        Like most tools, one uses it with some degree of discretion. I
learned about it from Steve Schoner, one of the greatest hunters
ever. I first used one with him in an L/LL strewn field and he, at least,
did so with excellent results. So, at least some people consider it
to be of some use.
    Of course, I do not suggest attempting to use a screw driver to
hammer nails, but that does not make a screw driver useless.
        Michael
